10/13/25: 1. Programming Assignment 3 has been posted.
10/11/25: 1. Solutions for Study Question Set 3 have been posted. Note that this set anticipates some of the discussion of numerical robustness of LU factorization when it mentions terms such as conditioning and element growth. These will be clarified in the numerical error lectures after the least squares problem lectures.; 2. Monday's lecture will start on the vital discussion of pivoting and factorization from a transformation point of view and then from a practical data structure and efficient implementation point of view. It is important to prepare by reading the notes/slides. The detailed example of using a single 2d array to implement LU without pivoting is left as a reading exercise. It is recommended as the first step of your preparation for the next programming assignment that will cover solving linear systems.; 3. Those wishing to discuss Exam 1 after reviewing the posted solutions are encouraged to make an appointment, with me or Jonathan, as soon as possible, preferably this week.
